LTM 1150-5.3 for Spence

UK rental company Spence Crane Hire has celebrated its 40th anniversary with the delivery of a new Liebherr 150 tonne LTM 1150-5.3.

The five axle crane is equipped with a 66 metre, seven section main boom along with the 10.8 to 19 metre bi-fold swingaway extension that offsets hydraulically by up to 40 degrees. A seven metre insert can be added between the boom nose and extension to take the maximum tip height to almost 95 metres and maximum radius to 72 metres. The crane also features Liebherr’s VarioBase variable outrigger set up and monitoring system.
